Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, affects 1 in 5 children under 2 years of age. Many often wonder whether diet affects their child’s eczema, and if so, what can be done to help with day to day management.

- Is it food allergy, eczema, or both?
- Should I stop eating certain foods if I am breastfeeding and my baby has eczema?
- Should I exclude foods to manage my child’s eczema?
- Will removing foods affect my child’s growth and development?
- Where do I get help?
